eV are used for energy but also mass #97

You can get the mass version with eV / c^2. Rink doesn't support overloading or inferring which unit you meant, it requires to explicitly disambiguate e.g. oz vs floz.

I could add a mass version of eV under a different name though, if there's a common shorthand for it.

fair enough, I don't think there's a common name for eV as mass, even though they are commonly used with "MeV" or "GeV" for mass
